Morningstar Farms is a division of the Kellogg Company that produces vegetarian food. Many of their offerings are meatless variations of traditionally meat-based products, including some that are vegan. Morningstar is currently the largest vegetarian food producer in America. Morningstar Farms was introduced by Worthington Foods in the 1970s. Kellogg purchased Worthington Foods in October 1999 at which point it acquired the Morningstar Farm brand.

Eggless Movement
After competitor Gardenburger announced all but one of their products would be free of egg products, vegan and animal rights organizations, including EggIndustry.com, Vegan Adam, and Vegan Outreach teamed up to ask vegans to persuade the Morningstar Farms company to replace egg ingredients due to the harsh environment of the caged birds that lay the eggs with the creation of Morningstar-Egg-Facts.com
